I’ve been mulling over the same kind of short and sweet 3 IEM roster. My ear time is so limited these days. Decision points I would need to make -Grand Maestro Strenghts = Unbelievable Sub-bass, great treble, great soundstage. Still a specialist for me.
Mentor Strenghts = Unbelievable mids, massive soundstage, timbre, cohesive (all BA). Resolution. Allrounder
Annihilator Strenghts = Mid-bass, mids, unbelievable treble. Resolution. Also allrounder
There are more factors to take into consideration like timbre, dynamics etc.
All 3 get pretty much 1/3rd "ear-time". The best combo I've ever had, also better than any headphone combo I ever had. Three is the magic number for me.
Bass/warm: Xe6 or Grand Maestro?
Treble/detail: Anni 23 or Fei Wan?
Mids/all-rounder: Traillii or Rn6?
Curious to hear what others would pick, faced with this dilemma. First world problem in this hobby, I know.
